Team USA's Abby Johnston referred to China's Wu Minxia as "diving queen." After the Rio Olympics, it's a an appropriate title. Wu took ownership of five Olympic records with her gold medal in the first diving event of the Rio Olympics -- most diving gold medals by an individual in Olympic history, most Olympic diving medals won by a woman, oldest woman to win an Olympic diving gold medal, most Olympic Games with a diving medal, and most gold medals in the same Olympic diving event.

The battle for bronze came down to the final dive. Australia's Maddison Keeney and Anabelle Smith, who were in last after the first two rounds, stormed back to place third to secure the bronze medal, narrowly edging Canada's Jennifer Abel and Pamela Ware by just 0.87 points.

Chen Aisen and Lin Yue set an Olympic record on their way to the gold, amassing 496.98 points. The pair received a number of 10s from the judges in both execution and synchronization for their fifth dive -- a forward 4.5 somersault that earned them 106.56 points.

The day the Maria Lenk Aquatics Center diving well infamously turned green, China's Chen Ruolin matched her countrywoman Wu Minxia in the history books with the most diving gold medals in Olympic history.

USA's Michael Hixon and Sam Dorman put together a clean 450.21-point list to place second and earn the silver medal, finishing higher than the United States ever has in the men's synchronized 3m springboard. (Troy Dumais and Kristian Ipsen won bronze in 2012.)

The men's 3m springboard seemed wide open after reigning World champion He Chao of China was eliminated in the prelims and reigning Olympic champion Ilya Zakharov of Russia -- after a brutal belly flop -- was eliminated in the semifinal.

For the first time since 2000, the United States placed two competitors in the top 10 of the men's 3m final as Kristian Ipsen -- who performed the difficult "triple out" -- placed fifth and Mike Hixon placed 10th.

Ren Qian is just 15 years old, but she showed all the poise and confidence of a veteran in the women's individual 10m platform event, comfortably winning gold ahead of countrywomen Si Yajie, 17, who took silver.

USA's Jessica Parratto placed third in the prelim and second in the semifinal, but endured a number of miscalculated entries in the final and settled for a 10th-place finish in her first career individual Olympic event.

USA's David Boudia, the defending gold medalist from London, performed well. When the pool calmed, he sat in third place behind Chen and Mexico's German Sanchez to secure bronze, the second medal of his Rio Games and third of his career.

Young American diver Steele Johnson, in his first career individual Olympic event, placed 18th in the prelim and just barely qualified for the semifinal, where he wasn't as lucky and finished 13th -- one spot off of qualifying for the final. Still, it was a strong first Olympcs for the 20-year-old, who will take home a synchro silver medal and plenty of motivation for 2020.

It was the storyline that no one expected in the Rio Olympics. Divers showed up to the Maria Lenk Aquatics Center on Tuesday, Aug. 9, and beheld a unique sight. The water in the diving well, a pristine azure blue the day before, turned a murky green.

The reason wasn't forthcoming, but officials vowed to fix the problem overnight.

Finally, four days after the color change on Saturday, Rio 2016 director of venue management Gustavo Nascimento and Rio 2016 Organizing Committee executive director Mario Andrada held a press conference to set the record straight. Apparently one of their contractors dumped 80 liters of hydrogen peroxide in the pool, which neutralized the chroline's ability to keep the water clear.
